Bio
John Bufton
I've had the pleasure of working with and supported Richard now for many years, all of which have been, and continue to be, a real joy. Richard is the kind of forward-thinking and proactive exec that makes a real difference, enhancing any senior team considerably! Strategic by nature with an engaging style, there's very little that will slow him down or indeed break his stride, he's so flexible and adaptable! I've seen Richard deal with some seriously challenging situations and plot his way through them in such an assured manner that it can't fail to fill all of the stakeholders with anything but confidence. I hold Richard in high regard, partly due to all of the above and also as he always strives to do the right thing whatever it takes, can operate at any level within a business, and continually aims to add value with every single conversation, on top of which he's a thoroughly nice guy!
